Thank you all, I don't understand some of these clues myself.
I think this heat is getting to me.
Have a lovely evening all.

Ha ha you may well be right headwreck,now I see why you're Irish lol.

[vakayu]

4d flag is to drop with tiredness and if you raise the standard you raise a flag.

You're welcome poortony and good luck.

How true headwreck,enjoy what's left of the evening,it's meant to be even hotter in parts of Scotland at the week-end,I am not a pessimist but am hoping I am in the part which is scorching!!
